They said “one-bedroom apartment.” You arrived to a packed three-story townhouse with a piano, a gun safe, and no elevator. The quote doesn't cover this. SealedScope makes sure every overage, specialty item, and access fee is signed before you load the first box.

Every moving crew has been burned by this

📦

The inventory was way off. They listed 20 boxes. There are 60. The couch doesn't fit through the door. The attic, basement, and garage are all packed. Your truck is too small for what's actually here.

🏋️

Specialty items that weren't disclosed: pianos, gun safes, hot tubs, pool tables, or oversized furniture that requires disassembly. Each one needs extra crew members and specialized equipment.

🏢

No elevator, long carry from the unit to the truck, narrow stairwells, or a destination with restricted loading hours and no parking. Access issues multiply labor time dramatically.

Change orders moving crews deal with on every job

Inventory Overage

$300 - $1,500

Actual volume exceeds the estimate by 50% or more. You need a second truck, additional crew members, or a return trip the next day. Every extra cubic foot costs fuel, labor, and time.

Specialty Item Handling

$200 - $1,000

Pianos, gun safes, pool tables, marble tabletops, or antiques requiring custom crating, extra padding, and specialized dollies. Each item has its own labor cost and liability risk.

Access & Stair Fees

$100 - $600

No elevator in a walk-up building, 200-foot carry from the unit to the truck, tight stairwells requiring furniture disassembly, or parking restrictions that force you to shuttle from a distant lot.

Furniture Disassembly & Reassembly

$75 - $400

Bed frames, sectionals, desks, and entertainment centers that won't fit through doorways need to be broken down and rebuilt at the destination. Hardware is always missing.

Storage & Multi-Stop Moves

$200 - $800

Client adds a storage unit stop, a second delivery location, or needs items held overnight. Each additional stop is more drive time, more loading/unloading, and more fuel.

Packing Services

$250 - $1,200

Client said everything would be boxed. Nothing is boxed. Now your crew is packing dishes, wrapping mirrors, and boxing up closets before they can start loading. Packing materials and labor add up fast.
